Chapter 13 : Mother

Hey ! So first of all, happy new year ! I hope you all had great holidays with your families. I decided to write this chapter about the scene between Kensi, Deeks and his mother in the 7x02. I did some research because I wasn't so sure about her name and I found Roberta, but if it's not that well let me know so I can change it. Anyway, I just love that scene and because the letter of this chapter is "M", there isn't a better occasion to do it than now. Anyway, tell me what you think about it, and if you have any idea about the chapter with the letter "N".

Don't forget to review to make me happy because school starts back tomorrow ! (Good luck for that too.)

Have a good week.

"Come on, let's get this party started !" Deeks' mom said, heading towards the kitchen. You could see a smile on her face. Indeed, she liked her. She had the feeling she said what she thought when it needed to be said which was a good point. And most importantly, she felt like Kensi made her son happy. That was what mattered to her the most. He needed to find a person who would and could make him smile everyday. And he may have find that person.

On the other way, Kensi could feel her heartbeat getting faster and faster. Her hands were sweaty and she kept drying them on her jean. Within a minute, she started to be stressed out. A part of her wanted to run as fast as she could and get out of here. She wasn't ready to meet his mother. So not ready for that. Plus she wasn't that good with parents. What had took her to respond "no" to her questions ? When she said that no, she didn't cook it was fine. Like it's no big deal, a lot of people don't cook like her. But then she responded quickly that she didn't wanna learn. The silence after that was mortifying ! Fortunately, Roberta wasn't mad. Thank God, Kensi could still have a chance with her.

Kensi was obviously afraid Deeks' mom wouldn't like her. Maybe she was going to jump on some conclusion and think that Kensi was everything than good for her son. Deeks might have talk to her about Kensi's childhood and her past. Deep down, she knew he never would do that to her. They talked about it a few times and he always listened to her, tried to help her to get past it. To move on and have a fresh start on her life. He didn't do that to, at the end, talk about her issues to his mom or someone else. She trusted him with all her heart but sometimes it was just hard. Her trust issues towards people and herself always came back. She did try to be better at it but yeah, at some time she would always doubt about people's feelings for her.

She shook her head and tried to act normal; as if she wasn't freaking out by the fact that her boyfriend's mom was in front of her, a knife in her hand ready to cut a carrot and her head at the same time.

The other part of her, which might be the biggest of the two, wanted to stay. She wanted to stay there and discover more about her. And Deeks at the same time. She was well aware that they had had a crappy relationship with Deeks' dad. Gordon. Maybe, just maybe, this evening would make him talk more to her. Maybe he would open up a little bit more afterwards. Plus, Roberta had cooked and Kensi doesn't say no to a meal.

Like never.

In the middle of the meal and talks about their work and Roberta's life, questions came about their love life. The sweaty hands came back too; even faster than the first time. Breathe, Kensi, just breate. It's going to be just fine.

"So let's talk about the interesting stuff, how long will I have to wait for a grandchild ?" She asked while Kensi choked with her wine. Okay, maybe "fine" wasn't the best word to describe it.

Deeks, for his part, lifted his head and stared at his mother with his big blue eyes. Frankly, he was as stressed out as Kensi was about that dinner. He decided a few hours ago that he wanted them to meet each other. The plumber's story had to come to an end because it was ridiculous ! He was almost sure his mother would like her. After all, he loved Kensi with all his heart and he was a 100% sure Roberta would notice that. Everyone could actually ! You just had to watch how he looked at her, in a lovingly way. From the moment you saw his smile and the lights in his eyes when Kensi entered in a room, you could be able to understand how much he cared about her. He hoped that if, by misfortune, she didn't like Kensi as much as he did; she would at least accept her because she was the one. She was truly the one that made him happy and made him want to get out of bed in the mornings.

"Grandchild ?" He asked Roberta and looked at his girlfriend in the meantime. He could see her tense a little bit. "We..um.. we didn't talk about this yet, mom. We have been in a relationship just for a few months. It's kind of soon to talk about it."

"Too soon !" Kensi stopped moving the second she said it. She didn't really mean to say it. It was just supposed to be her thoughts. The mother and the son gazed at her for a minute, in silence, before she sensed Deeks' hand on hers under the table.

Well, that dinner was going to taste like hell.

At the end of the meal, the two women washed the dishes side by side. For the third time of the evening, Kensi felt her heart beating quicker than usual. Deeks was on the phone and Roberta decided it was the best moment for her to know more about Kensi. She asked her for help and headed to the kitchen with the plates. Kensi had no choice than follow her because, of course, she couldn't act like she didn't hear her. That would have been rude and bad for her.

"So Kensi, it's my last day here and I'm glad we met. Now I see why my son likes you."

"It was a pleasure too." She nodded, hoping that nothing wrong would come out of her mouth. She kept washing the dishes when she saw the older woman facing her. She took a second to breathe, in order to built some courage and turned to her too. She did try to smile to her, to look like a nice "daugther in law". But it turned out to be more like an uptight grin.

"I also wanted to thank you. I see you're taking care of him and I like to see him happy."

"Ohh you know, I'm not the one you should thank. I feel like he makes me happier than I do for him. But yeah, we're trying to look out for each other. We're partners after all." Kensi shrugged slowly.

Roberta nodded, still looking carefully at her. "You're more than partners my dear. Don't forget that." She hugged her and whispered in Kensi's ear : "You love each other. That's a big deal !"

Deeks came back when their hug was over and he wondered why his girlfriend's smile was that big. Even though she tried to hide it.

When Roberta left to go home, the couple sat on the couch hugging. Her head was resting on his chest and she felt like she could fall asleep right there. He was stroking her back tenderly and opened his mouth to ask her something.

"So kids um ?" He curbed his laughter. On one side it made him laugh that his mother talked about it before they did. But he was also afraid because he wanted kids. He wanted to be a father and most importantly, he wanted to be the father of Kensi's kids. But maybe she didn't want to be a mom. He could understand it because of what she had lived with her parents but that could be an issue between the both of them. At least, he was sure they would talk about it and figure it out together.

Well.. it wasn't going to be now anyway.

Because when Deeks looked at her, waiting for an answer from her, he could see she was fast asleep.

That discussion will need to wait then.
